Angkor

The massive 800-year-old Angkor Wat is one of the world's most famous sights and along with the surrounding buildings in the Angkor park, one of the most spectacular ancient ruins in existence. I spent three days at nearby Siem Reap, the burgeoning town which hosts travelers who've come to see Angkor Wat, and went up to Angkor every day. Angkor Wat was a temple complex while nearby Angkor Thom was the royal city. There are dozens more sites in the park which is enough to last you two or three days.
